Besides meta-packages, another potential use-case for meta (whether Requires or weak dependencies) is those just-in-case dependencies across sub-packages to ensure nobody runs weird combinations even though sonames might permit it. Often they are in the same direction as the soname dependency so it doesn't create any additional ordering issues but sometimes they're in the opposite direction, creating a wholly unnecessary dependency loop. Rpm itself is an example of this (but we can't really use "meta" anytime soon as rpm needs to be bootstrappable from older versions)
